Does anyone else think if we bomb Iran, Iran will send hundreds of
thousands of soldiers over the border into Iraq and attack our soldiers there? I think Bush/Cheney crime syndicate will finally get their "cakewalk". An attack on Iran will have make the Iraq war look like a cakewalk by comparison.

What are we to do??

:-(

3. A nuclear bomb may be detonated in Wash. D.C. in response to an attack.
The aircraft carriers will be a first target, to disable bombing runs. The green zone and US bases will be bombed into oblivion. The response will be against all the US military in the region, and any allies. Tel Aviv will be bombed, in all probability bringing every country in the region into the war. Israel as we know it, may be destroyed.

Also, a nuclear bomb may be detonated in Wash. D.C. in response to any attack.

Nations have to defend themselves, and justifiably so in today's Bushco world.

8. I agree with you on the carriers... the Iranians have the Russian
Sunburn missile, against which we have no defense. However, I think the Iranian air force would not last a single day against a US air campaign, assuming the US can pull off a surprise attack and then get the carriers out of range.

As to the nuke, do you suspect that the N. Koreans would sell the Iranians one?

10. How many suitcase nukes are missing from the break-up of the USSR?
Nations may have nukes even if they do not yet make them.

Also, will all this talk of attacking Iran, they reasonably SHOULD want to make them.

4. As a strategist, Bush is abysmal
here's the deal: he has the largest portion of our troops committed to a foreign theatre halfway around the world. Losing hearts and minds in a catastrophic hemmorage, he keeps hitting the hornet's nest in Iran. Iran will not like Saddam's diminished guard.

Here's what could happen: Iran doesn't care if it destroys Iraq in the process of destroying our army. Its not THEIR country, in fact its the country of their lifelong enemy.
For Iran, there's no cost, if they are invaded, to simply wipe out everything in Iraq, which includes our troops.
They have sunburn missiles that will take out our support ships.

Then, once we no longer have an army to protect US back home, we will bombarded with terrorist attack after terrorist attack.

a first year high school student could point out the flaws in this military strategy.

6. No! The jubilant and grateful Iranians will be crossing the border to deliver flowers.
Didn't you get the memo from PNAC?

7. No I don't believe they would do such a fool hardy thing but I do believe
they would send many if not hundreds of guided missiles to Israel and into Iraq. I don't believe even the mighty USA could get all their missile sites before they could launch. After that I believe no American could ever consider themselves safe in any foreign country. They may not be able to strike the USA directly but they can and will strike US citizens at will. And it will not just be Iranians. It will be any Arab or Persian Muslim that will seek some form of revenge..They also have long memories.. Not like the Americans that can't seem to remember what happened yesterday..
